Having played this solitaire I knew this would be tough on for the Red Army. The game played out in a similar way. The western ridge was defended by dug in Panthers who were almost impossible to hit. I tried to outflank the German forces but all to no avail and though I got closer to exiting than in my previous game the result to be honest was not in doubt from about the 3/4 stage. However we had three solid sessions and lots of fun playing this one.
